Working in Earth Sciences – Solar Energy Storage

Follow Rhys on a typical day as he tries to solve the issue of solar energy storage using his knowledge of chemicals and experimenting to find out if his predictions are cost effective and actually practical in the modern world. He explains how his enjoyment of maths and science in school was key to pursuing this as a career, and how he hopes to make a difference by wean us off non-renewable energy sources and helping to combat climate change.

Science and technology is as much a part of our cultural fabric as art, music, theatre and literature. They play a significant role in our daily lives, yet, in a world dependent on science, we often take them for granted. Australia’s Science Channel believes every citizen has a right, and a responsibility, to be informed, and our mission is to create programs to bring that about.
